Re: Forget ObamaCare -- Let's just rely on ambulances and emergency rooms! |
I hear you, but I still disagree. How could you possibly know who really needs help and who does not? You're assuming and generalizing your opinion and presenting it as fact. You can't have it both ways.
So, what you are saying is that government knows better than me how to best use my money? And, make no mistake. It is my money. and yours. and his, and his, and hers and....
It is not the government's money. But, they certainly act is if it is.
Please tell me that you are not on board with letting government decide the best way to spend our money. Please tell me that you agree with me that we should be free to decide the best use of "our" money. Please tell me that you agree that it is "our" money and not the government's money.

No I dont agree. Your argument makes no sense to me. We have elections so we can vote for the people who, among many other things, decide how best to spend tax dollars.
I hate to break it to ya, but once taxes are taken out of your check it aint your money anymore. It absolutely is the government's money. We put it in, and elected them to allocate it.
The people have spoken man, that's all there is to it. On some level I know you understand this. You are just going to have to cope with the fact that you cannot control how tax dollars are spent. It's part of living in a democracy.

Re: Forget ObamaCare -- Let's just rely on ambulances and emergency rooms! |
ok. We will just have to agree to disagree.
If we can't even agree on the basic premise that it is our money that the government is spending and not the government's money, and that as citizens we have a right to expect that the government only spend that money on things that the constitution says they can spend it on, there probably isn't much we are going to agree on politically. So, before this ends up in a cat fight (as political disagreements often do), lets just end here and agree to disagree.
Here is something i think we can both agree on....

It's our money either way. As it is, hospitals do not turn away the uninsured for urgent care. Who pays for that? All of us.

Actually it's not money. All money in the money supply has been loaned into existence in the form of sovereign debt.
But you knew I was going to say that and it doesn't have anything to do with your conversation so I'll shut up and withdraw.
